Festival Chamizal on Saturday April 18!
Join me and Familias Unidas del Chamizal for the first-ever Festival Chamizal as we celebrate five years since the opening of the Chamizal Community Center & Library.
There will be live performances from Frontera Bugalú bringing their signature high-energy sounds of the frontera, Mariachi Orgullo de Bowie, and the Bowie Bear Drumline. Plus, we’ll have activities for all ages, plenty of ways to connect with neighbors, and a full afternoon of fun. It’s free and open to everyone, so come enjoy!
This space carries a lot of history. Long before it became a community center, it was home to a Levi’s garment factory where many neighbors from Barrio Chamizal worked for years. That legacy is why you’ll see the denim theme throughout the event. It’s a small way to honor the people and stories that helped shape this special community space.
